kutsua

From Proto-Finnic*kuccudak, from earlier *kućću-; akin to the Samic verb reflected in e.g. Northern Sami goččut. Contains the reflexive suffix -u. The root is probably of Indo-European loan origin, either from Germanic (cf. Old Norse kveðja (“to greet, to call upon, to demand”)) or Baltic (cf. Lithuanian kviesti (“to call, to sue, to ask”), from earlier *kvaitja-). Uralic inheritance has also been suggested, in light of Khanty *kuuć- "to teach, to tempt" (suggesting a Proto-Uralic verb *kuććV-), for which an alternative etymology is however known as well.

2) Used only with a possessive suffix; this is the form for the third-person singular and third-person plural.3) Does not exist in the case of intransitive verbs. Do not confuse with nouns formed with the -ma suffix.
